How about another #TingidTuesday! Here is Dicysta vitrea Champion, the type species of the genus. This species was described from Panama. Later reported from Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru. Hosts plants included several different species of vining #Bignoniaceae. This specimen was collected near Chapada dos Guimarães, #Brazil by Herbert H. Smith. Specimen from CMNH. #Tingidae #bugs

Happy #TingidTuesday everyone! Here is Baeotingis ogloblini Drake and Poor, the type species of the genus. Which was described from Argentina and reported from Brazil in 2014. Specimen from the Drake Collection at USNMNH Entomology.

For #TingidTuesday I have Annomatocoris zeteki Drake & Froeschner. This species is a member of the obscure and rarely encountered subfamily Vianaidinae. Their biology is poorly understood but they have been documented as #myrmecophiles. Specimen from USNMNH Entomology.

Here, here for #TingidTuesday! Meet Corycera panamensis Drake & Poor. This species was described from #Panama and later collected in #CostaRica. The only known host records are #banana or Musa sp. This species is native to the neotropical region, but #Musaceae is not. Therefore, C. panamensis may also use the Neotropical species of the Zingiberales. Specimen from
@OSUCatOSU.

Happy #TingidTuesday, I’ve been busy with job applications, manuscript reviews, and much-needed family time. Here is Dyspharsa uniseriata Cazorla & Knudson 2021 which was described from Trujillo and Merida states, Venezuela. 📷 from Cazorla & Knudson 2021. #Tingidae #Bugs The only congener, D. meyersi (Drake), was described from the Trinidad mountains in Cuba, not the island of Trinidad as listed by Drake and Ruhoff (1965). I can provide an English translation of the original description.

For #TingidTuesday I have Agramma atricapillum (Spinola). This species is found in Southern Europe, North Africa, parts of the Middle East, #Ukraine, & surrounding countries of the Black & Caspian Seas. This species feeds on monocots like Juncus, Typha, & Scirpus. This specimen was collected by Horsák & Kment in 🇨🇿 and is from the National Museum of the Czech Republic, Praha. #Tingdae

Since #TingidTuesday seems to be becoming a thing, here's one from the US Virgin Islands. No idea about ID but quite different from the Corythuchas I usually see in Philly. #Tingidae #Hemiptera

Here here for #TingidTuesday! I'll post this on my Mastodon account as well. Meet Megalocysta pellucida Champion. This species was described from Panama and is also known from Costa Rica. Its biology is unknown and is the only known species in Magalocysta #Tingdae #Hemiptera 🇨🇷🇵🇦

Specimen from Enns Entomological Museum https://museum.insecta.missouri.edu. Collected in Costa Rica by W. R. Enns in 1957
